Video: Anikka Albrite Explains Concerns With 'Hot Girls Wanted'

LOS ANGELES — The Free Speech Coalition today released a new video in which adult star Anikka Albrite explains how the Netflix docuseries “Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On” compromised performer safety and privacy.

In the public service announcement, Albrite details performers’ concerns about the series, and outlines the growing coalition of allies and advocates who have spoken out against it.

Netflix and “Hot Girls Wanted” producer Rashida Jones have refused to address complaints by performers that the production was unethical and endangered some of the performers featured in the series, the FSC said.

“Media makers have a fascination with our industry, but they can be ignorant to the needs of marginalized workers,” said Siouxsie Q James, FSC’s Director of Policy and Industry Relations. “Their failure to do so puts our safety and privacy at risk.”

In one episode, Netflix broadcast a performer’s real name and identifying information, despite assurances that it would be kept private. After the broadcast, she and her family were harassed online and at their home.

In another episode, Netflix broadcast video of two webcam performers who had not consented to being in the documentary. Many webcam performers set geographic limitations on their broadcast so as to not be outed in their own communities, or to their families. 

Albrite said the PSA, “Making our images available globally against our will, and in areas that we have restricted is a serious violation of our privacy. It puts our safety, and the safety of our family members at risk.” 

FSC sent three letters to Netflix, Jones, and producers, asking that some identifying material be blurred or edited.  Hundreds of adult performers and dozens of human trafficking organizations, doctors, academics, and workers’ rights groups signed on in support. 

Netflix has refused to make any changes, or grant an audience to performers. Producers of the series instead attacked performers, claiming their complaints were baseless and attention-seeking. 

“Our workers already face stigma and discrimination from the general public,” Albrite said. “Netflix’s brazen refusal to engage with them on issues of privacy makes their lives and work even more dangerous. We’re issuing a call to our performers to be exceedingly wary of working with anyone associated with Netflix.”

Penthouse CEO Kelly Holland, a sponsor of the video and a board member of the FSC, said she hopes the PSA will help raise awareness at a time when Netflix is likely considering a second season for the series. 

The FSC said it is currently working to establish a code of ethics and best practices for filmmakers, researchers and journalists interacting with sex workers, in order raise awareness and prevent future harm.

The FSC's video is available here.
